This is Judika's Relaxed and Wise Response to the 'Song Thief' Accusation from Ahmad Dhani

Judika chose to understand that the criticism was a form of concern from a senior in the Indonesian music industry. He believes that Ahmad Dhani was only giving a warning regarding the serious issue of copyright that is currently a shared concern in the music world.

Judika emphasizes that he is not accustomed to stealing other people's works. He has produced many works in the national music industry.   "People also know my track record since I started singing. I am not used to being a thief, so if there are things like this, it's okay, it's just an older brother scolding his younger brother," Judika stated as reported by Liputan6com, on Monday (21/4/2025).

He considers Ahmad Dhani as an older brother who cares and hopes that the copyright issue can be resolved seriously soon.   "I believe he did not mean it that way, but he really wants to make sure this issue is taken seriously," he said.

Furthermore, Judika invites all parties in the music industry, including the government, to sit together and find solutions to the copyright issues that have been debated for a long time. He hopes that with good discussions, the Indonesian music industry can operate more healthily and songwriters can receive their rights fairly.

"Personally, outside of VISION, we just want to keep it cool, discuss, and find solutions together as stakeholders," explained the singer of the song Sampai Akhir.

Judika's calm and professional attitude in facing criticism from Ahmad Dhani shows his maturity and experience in the music world. Instead of reacting emotionally, Judika chooses to understand and appreciate the intent behind Dhani's statement. This reflects the positive attitude that every industry player should have.

Judika believes that every criticism, even if it may feel painful, can be an opportunity to learn and grow. "If considered a thief, then everyone is considered a thief, like street performers, cafe singers, or whatever," he said.
